Passage 2(2024济南)
In the early 1900s, Austrian scientist Karl Von Frisch discovered the
“waggle dance” of honey bees. They dance to communicate where to find
food, showing an advanced form of communication. His discovery
suggested that bees seem to “think” much like humans. Bees can count
up to four and even use knowledge learned in one situation in new ones.
This amazing ability they have is similar to that of a few mammals
(like dolphins, rats, and some monkeys)—metacognition(元认知).
12
Studying bees' brains is challenging, but scientists have found ways.
One such scientist is Clint Perry from Queen Mary University of London.
He designed experiments(实验) where bees chose between two spots,
one above and one below a black bar. If they landed above, they got a
sweet drink; below, a terrible one. Perry made the test easier or harder
by moving the landing spots farther from or closer to the black bar.
Perry found that bees avoided difficult tests and tried when it was easy,
suggesting they can judge(判断) their chances of “passing”.
This ability to make decisions according to their chances of success
before is similar to how humans choose whether to take a test. However,
Perry admits we can't be sure if bees are truly judging by their own
knowledge or just avoiding an unpleasant taste.
Although there is much uncertainty, the discovery of metacognition in
bees opens up new possibilities. It suggests that bees' tiny brains may be
quite capable(有能力的). It could be that skills such as simple math
and navigation take far less actual brainpower than we thought. While
bees aren't as smart as mammals in memory and language, studying their
brains could help us understand how our own brains process information.
We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect
world. There are an awful lot of small insects flying around in the
garden and crawling underground. Who knows what those tiny minds
might be capable of?
1.Why do bees do the “waggle dance”? ___
A. To count numbers.
B. To show their amazing dancing skills.
C. To relax themselves.
D. To communicate the location of food.
√
16
2.What may Clint Perry's experiments suggest about bees? ___
A. They are more intelligent than monkeys.
B. They prefer sweet drinks to terrible ones.
C. They can judge their chances of success in a task.
D. They have excellent memory and language skills.
√
17
3.What is the value of studying bees' brains? ___
A. It helps us study human brains.
B. It reminds us to protect animals.
C. It improves our own math abilities.
D. It shows bees are our good friends.
√

4.Why does the writer end the text with a question? ___
A. To add information about bees.
B. To get readers interested in insects.
C. To show doubts about the research.
D. To express opinions about animal testing.

Passage 4
Roman(罗马的) numbers are the number system with hundreds of
years' history. They were created by the Romans with seven letters: I, V,
X, L, C, D and M. Their meanings are as follows.
Letter I V X L C D M
Value 1 5 10 50 100 500 1,000
29
Hand signals(手势) may tell us how Roman numbers were
invented. “I”, a single line, is one finger, and “V” means five fingers.
“X” is two hands showing two fives with thumbs(拇指) crossed, like
the shape “X”.
30
Roman numbers are read from left to right.
The order of the letters is important. There are two main rules.
If a letter comes before a letter of greater value, you use subtraction
(减). For example, IV is 4 and XC is 90.
If one or more letters come after a letter of greater value, you add
them. For example, XII is 12; CXIII means 113.
31
Roman numbers have played an important part in Roman times.
People used them in everyday business, engineering and math. People in
Europe kept using them until the 15th century. Later, people realized the
Arabic(阿拉伯的) numbers were easier when they had to calculate
(计算) larger numbers. Also, zero was not in the Roman number
system. It was a big problem in math.
32
However, Roman numbers are still used on watches and clocks to
show people the time. In the names of streets and buildings, you can
also see them. Subjects like chemistry and music might still use them.
Besides, they are used to refer to kings and queens, such as Queen
Elizabeth II. While they are not the main number system in modern math,
they are still around us.
